If someone wants to invest in my company, why would I care whether they can afford to lose their investment or not?
No, I expect the reason it happens this way is because it's a lot easier and simpler to take massive amounts of cash from a few investors than solicit lots of tiny investments from the general public. That and being a PLC from the get go is probably more involved than being a private limited company.
I do think ideally all companies should be public from the get go, but probably wildly impractical right now.
